Disorders of voice production have severe effects on the quality of life of the affected individuals. A simulation approach is used to investigate the cause-effect chain in voice production showing typical characteristics of voice such as…
We present a model for olfactory coding based on spatial representation of glomerular responses. In this model distinct odorants activate specific subsets of glomeruli, dependent upon the odorant's chemical identity and concentration. The…
Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) uniquely enables spatial mapping in high resolution of oxygen saturation (SO$_2$), with potential applications in studying pathological complications and therapy efficacy. MSOT offers seamless…
We present a novel machine learning architecture for classification suggested by experiments on olfactory systems. The network separates input stimuli, represented as spatially distinct currents, via winnerless competition---a process based…
Abnormal gastric motility function could be related to gastric electrical uncoupling, the lack of electrical, and respectively mechanical, synchronization in different regions of the stomach. Therefore, non-invasive detection of the onset…
The care of new born babies are the most important and sensitive part of bio-medical domain. Some new born babies have a higher risk of mortality due to their gestational age or their birth weight. Most of the premature babies born on 32-37…
The paper presents the results of a study of the impact of acoustic and vibration signals on Black Sea mussels, and determines the necessary technical characteristics of vibration sensors. A method has been developed based on the analysis…
Ultrasound sensors have wide applications across science and technology. However, improved sensitivity is required for both miniaturisation and increased spatial resolution. Here, we introduce cavity optomechanical ultrasound sensing, where…
The study of aerosols and droplets emitted from the oral cavity has become increasingly important throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies show particulates emitted while speaking were generally much smaller compared to coughing or…
Background: Infant cry acoustics provide a promising window into early neurodevelopment and may serve as scalable biomarkers for neurodevelopmental disorders. However, conventional microphone-based recordings are highly susceptible to…
The assessment of children at risk of autism typically involves a clinician observing, taking notes, and rating children's behaviors. A machine learning model that can label adult and child audio may largely save labor in coding children's…
Insects identify and evaluate behaviorally relevant odorants in complex natural scenes where odor concentrations and mixture composition can change rapidly. In the honeybee, a combinatorial code of activated and inactivated projection…
Respiratory auscultation is crucial for early detection of pediatric pneumonia, a condition that can quickly worsen without timely intervention. In areas with limited physician access, effective auscultation is challenging. We present a…
The use of a wide range of sensory modalities is increasingly central to technologies for learning, communication, and affective regulation. During the preschool years, sensory integration develops rapidly, shaping how children perceive and…
Autism spectrum disorders are complex, polygenic and heterogenous neurodevelopmental conditions, imposing a substantial economic burden. Genetics are influenced by the environment, specifically the social experience during the critical…
Vocal responses from caregivers are believed to promote more frequent and more advanced infant vocalizations. However, studies that examine this relationship typically do not account for the fact that infant and adult vocalizations are…
Agents must monitor their partners' affective states continuously in order to understand and engage in social interactions. However, methods for evaluating affect recognition do not account for changes in classification performance that may…
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a variety of approaches for managing infection outbreaks in international populations. One example is mobile phone applications, which attempt to alert infected individuals and their contacts by…
It has been discovered before (arXiv:2306.07676) that for the selectivity gain due to fluctuations in the process of primary odor reception by olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) there exists an optimal concentration of odors at which increased…
The sense of smell is an important part of living organisms. It assists with the interaction of the living organism with its environment. The mechanism by which smell is detected and identified is not fully known. Earlier, shape theory was…
